Meet the breeder

I'm Ashley M., the breeder behind Sage Valley located in Eugune, OR. We prioritize earning AKC and UKC conformation titles prior to breeding to ensure our dogs meet established breed standards. Beyond conformation, we actively explore performance and dog sports to evaluate work ethic, trainability, resilience, and overall balance. Our goal is not to create extremes, but rather to develop confident, biddable, and correct Poodles. We strive for dogs that are capable partners, whether succeeding in conformation, participating in performance sports, or thriving as beloved companions. Each breeding is thoughtfully planned with health, temperament, and long-term breed preservation as guiding priorities. Through careful selection we aim to preserve and strengthen the qualities that define the Standard Poodle Above all, we are committed to producing dogs that enrich the lives of their owners while honoring the integrity and future of the breed.

Q. & A. with Ashley

Why did you start breeding?
Throughout my time in the dog community, I have worked with and admired many breeds; however, Poodles have held my heart for years. As I became more involved in grooming, training, and the broader dog world, I saw an increasing number of doodles and Poodles being bred without regard for breed standard, structure, or temperament. Rather than simply observing these changes, I decided to become the difference I want to see within the breed. My goal is to help preserve the Standard Poodle as it was intended, a versatile dog with sound structure and stable temperament. Through education, ethical breeding practices, and active participation in conformation and performance events, I aim to contribute positively to the future and integrity of the breed.
What makes your program special?
My goal is to develop well-balanced Standard Poodles that excel both in conformation and performance. I aim to produce smaller, solid-colored dogs with correct structure, strong work ethic, and stable, biddable temperaments. By prioritizing health, versatility, and thoughtful breeding choices, I strive to create dogs that can succeed in the show ring, dog sports, and live as capable, well-rounded companions
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, blue, silver, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Ashley

Ashley has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Ashley partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“We take great pride in our puppies and want every family to feel the same level of confidence and connection. From birth through eight weeks of age, each puppy is carefully evaluated for temperament, structure, confidence, and overall development. During these early weeks, we spend extensive time observing and interacting with them, allowing us to truly understand each puppy’s personality, strengths, and individual needs. Because of this hands-on approach, we do not allow buyers to select their puppy based solely on preference. Instead, we thoughtfully match each puppy with the home where they are most likely to thrive. Our goal is to create successful, lifelong partnerships by pairing families with the puppy whose temperament, energy level, and disposition best fit their lifestyle and expectations. This process helps set both the puppy and their new family up for long-term success, ensuring your newest companion is not only loved but perfectly suited to become your best friend.”

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
